He is survived by his wife of 24 years, Rae Ann; daughter, Donna (Jeff) Treubig; two grandchildren, Jeff and Stephanie; brother, Robert Barnes (Diane) of Ohio; sister, Frances Jackson (Carl McVey) of Calif.; his very special nephew, who was like a son to him, Tom Jackson of Texas; and many other nieces and nephews and, of course, his dog, "Barney."

He was a mechanic at South Trail Fire Department for 23 years before he retired. He could repair anything and enjoyed helping his family and friends using his vast knowledge to fix things for all in need.

Our hearts are broken Norm. You will be missed by so many.
